George Wyllie's Straw Locomotive lives on in the memory of many who
saw it, and it was one of his many scul?tures featuring trains. His love of
trains had developed as a boy, and he would have witnessed the massive locomotives
being transported along the streets of Glasgow to the Finnieston Crane. He made
locomotive scul?tures large and small and even paid homage to toy train makers,
Hornby.
